The Worlds of Journalism Study

‌

Professor Herman Wasserman is a member of the South African team conducting research into the state of journalism in the country, as part of the international project Worlds of Journalism.

The Worlds of Journalism Study (WJS) is an academically driven project that was founded to regularly assess the state of journalism throughout the world. The Study’s primary objective is to help journalism researchers and policy makers better understand worldviews and changes that are taking place in the professional orientations of journalists, the conditions and limitations under which they operate, as well as the social functions of journalism in a changing world.
